This perforiber, according to her own aceenuf, is Composed of Very whiMsicalmateriala, for she de clares; that " She entered into an engagetnent with the 'ovent-Garden pr o p r i et o rs , fr om he r desire to sing' at thenew National Theatre," a desire which " induced her to forget all interested considerations,' to . enjoy that satisfaalion." This is somewhat strange, for though we have'full reliance . on the . skill of Mr. Smiatts,- the ingenious aihcitetl, eATA. LAM cannot he sure that site will be heard to so much advantage in that Theatre is she has been'in other places where she acquired her fame in this country. But shesdtnits that, provoked by the re fusal, of Mr. TAYLOR, the Proprietor of the Opera- House, to engage Mr. AITAJITINI, and her brother, and to allow her to chose the first violin, she broke off all negociation. Now what right had she to think of incumbering the Opera-House with per formers what the Manager did not want, and to re quire permission to remove Mr. Wkicusat.L., who is one bf the first performers in Europe, from the direction of the Band ? This is audaCity in the ex treme. But she has a reserve in favour of herself respecting Mr. WEICAISELL, for she says, pretty Innocent, that in demanding the privilege to chase the first violin, it was to be " without 'displac ing any body, for my choice might have fallen on the person who now holds the situation."— If that were, indeed, likely to be the case, dear Madam, pray why should you presUme to require that the Manager should surrender his privilege to you ? But what a pity jt is that this Lady is not as much inclined to " forget all interested considera tions," on the ground ot; . humanity, as well as " to enjoy the satisfaction of singing at the new National Theatre," for then she might have enjoyed a much greater satisfaCtion, and at the same time have had the esteem as well as admiration of the public. No —her pleasure, it seems, cloeS not arise from such a pitiful motive, for she has refuSed to sing for the benefit OF THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL, whiCh is one of the most benevolent Institutions in the me tropolis, and which has indeed brought itself into embarrassments by the libetal extent of its charities, having been constantly open to the unforiunate in this country, and having appropriated one of its wards fur the relief of diseased Foreigners. The excuse offered for thi4 refusal is, that ‘ her engage ment with Mr. HARRIS restricts her from singing any where but at Covenr-garden Theatre, under a penalty of 10,0001." But has she asked Mr. HAS HIS permission to shetv her disposition to assist the Charity ? If she had, we are persuaded that ho would •not have said, " I will have my bond," but would most readily have assented. With what different feelings will the Public look on Mrs. 13tt.LikoTOst, BRAHAM, and other respect- able Performers of this country, who aaually delay their departure from town that they, may contribute their efforts on so laudable an occasion ! Ali ! Ma dame CATALAN!, you indeed " forget interested ounsiderations " of the highest kind in this refusal, for it is at Ole expence of self-condemnation, and the good opinion of mankind. HUMANITAS.

Gartaosv moved for leave to file a Criminal Informition against a Mr. Williamson, for writing a letter to Mr. Crosby, with intent to praVoke that Gentleman to fight a duel. It was stated by the Learned Gentleman; that Mr. WilliameOn had oc cupied a cottage in the County of Essex, of which Mr. Crosby was the Landlord. He had taken the' cottage of another person. During his ocenpation, some circumstances occurred Which rendered it ne cessary that Mr. Crosby should hare the possession of the cottage, 'he accordingly wrote -several. very civil awl polite letters to Mr. William son on t h e subject, and, as he thought, it was s et tl e d t h at t he - cottage should b e given tap. However, such was' not the case; fur Mr. Crosby was compelled to have recourse to law, and indeed to proceed to ejea, In this stage of the business, Mr. Williarnion wrote a letter to Mr. Crosby (and this letter termed the ground-work of the present application), desiring that he would give him reparation for the conduct which he Mr. Crosby bad pursued towardo him. The Court asked when the letter was, written ? .1 Mr. GAillitiNi' replied, on the 4th May last, but that it was impossible to apply before, as it was - within a few clays of the Term, and the .necessary evidence could not be produced whereon to ground the Rule. lie had the:affidavit of a gentleman to whom Mr. Williamson shewed the letter, 'end who adVibed him of the core.vouences', as it was a chal lenge;' but Mr. W. said he had so worded it that it could not be construed into a challenge. 'Lord ELLgNBOKOUGU thought as the offence (if any) had happened last Term, and no application had been Made, it were better pot to grant the Rule. The Court had some denhts upon the letter, it Might, perhaps, In the demand of reparation, be nothing more than a desire to give some explanation fur a supposed atliont.—Rulerefused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. SITTINGS AT GUILDHALL, LONDON. SEDUCTION. BARNETT' V JACOBS. , This wasan aelion brought by the Plaintiff, a Jew cloatinkeller and Jeweller, to recover from the De fendant, a person of the same nation, and of the same profession, a c omp e nsat i o n in damages. for the loss of the services of his daughter, Sarah liarnett, in consequence of her seduttion by the Defendant. ,1 There were two Italians brought, th e one b y the Father, to the circa before mentioned; the other in the name of the daughter, by which she sought to recover damages, on the ground Of breach ofpro mise of marriage. SirJAM}.B .1 1 / l ANsvinn said he could not alloy the two aatons to be tried at the same time, nor in the same Sittings. The former action was accordingly ordered to proceed, and the latter to lie over. Sarah Ilitrnett was then examined. '• Her evidence went to prove, that, in the year /807, the Defend ant wai a shopman in her tether's employment, in which he had remained six years . ; that the witness was then 14 years of age, and the Ddendant about ; that a connection then . took place bet ween them, the witness at.the 'time supposing the Defendant to be a single man, and having promised her marriage, though it was afterwards discovered that he was al ready married. At this first intercourse the witness seemed to allege that force had been used. On which Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the Defendant, contended, that the 'talon had been wrong laid, and that in. stead of an action tar damages, it ought to have been an intlidtment for a rape. It appeared, however, that a subsequent familiarity had taken place between the parties, to which the witness bad been consenting, when the pronike of marriage was also made to her, and in consequence • of the .effects of which the present salon was brought, on its being discovered that the Defendant was already married. • On this pound the Learned Serjeant's objdion was over-ruled. • Mrs. Young was' adduced as to the charaaer of Sarah Barnett; and Dr. Ball prwed her delivery in February last, the. Plaintiff maintaining the child. . Solomon Jacobs swore that the Defendant had to him-acknowledged that he was the father of the child, and bad offered him 501. to marry Sarah Barnett. Mr. Serjeant Bin addressed the Jury, principal. ly on the ground of the incredibility of the Plaintiff's case, as it it were at all probable that a connection should have taken place between the Defendant and the principal witness only twice, and those at two distant periods, once in the year 1807, and once in the year 1808. The Learned Counsel, with great force, combatted the facts of the Plaintiff's case, and rested that ot his own client on the Inconsistency of the story brought against him. Sir Jamas MANSFIELD, in his charge to the JUry, laid it down, that damages were' due in this case, but left it to the Jury to :say, what should be, the amount of them; it being to be obierved j that there was still an adlon depending for breach of promise of marriage, the consideration of which ought not, in the present suit, to enter into the rninciS of the Jury.. After consulting for about an hour and a half,'the Jury found 1 - or the Plaintiti--Damages 101. VVIDNMA v. Prize Weathers dead. , South Down tups let.

' Mr. FOSTER having moved the Order of; hay for the third read reading Of the Irish Regulatioil Sir J.

The Hon. Baronet strongly d e . precated such dance, as it would in tact ratuce the Bill a Bill of amnesty for the connivance of ReVenee Officers with the Distillers, whereby from the no., port of the Contratisioners it appeared the Itevenuei had tmtreted a defalwtion B.sn.bubl. It was monstrous to punish,' the parishes where u duiinsiv e seizur e s had b een ma d e , and protect the otticers ho had connived at the m . H e could not a ssent tbseih a 'clause, and moved that the 411 be read a third time this day three months. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the Honottrable Baroliet had in his ipulion gout., even beyond his own Wishei. jhb Bill tmly now ho read a third time, and the clause be talc ee into oinii deration afterwards. a ti Sir 3 , 114 N Neu - tont said, Ia waa led into the adoption of Irk amendment as.ho thought he pos. sensed no other alternative; he w 001.,, however, as: sent to the suggestions of the night I.f G ent l e . man. The Bill was accordingly read a third time, ,And 'upon the consideration of the clause alluded, to, Mr. FOSTER said . , the ifouse would; he was sure ) see the propriety of adopting this Clause, when he explained the circumstances under which it was proposed. The fad was, that for a great number of years past the Officers of the Exese in Ireland bad been in the habit of receiving presents frOin those over whom they had been appointed to watch, and.. this they did with the connivance, as they be.; , lieved, of their superior Officers. To such an ex tent Was this carried, that the offence almost ceased to appear criminal in their eyes, and they seemed to titink that it was a kind of privilege to which they were entitled. This being the case, it became ne.;• cessary to look into the subjed, and to adopt ambit remedy. ,It was f oun d t h at the salaries of the Of-. firers were such,' as they could not possibly live Upon, they not ,having undergone any augmentation, since the reign of Charles 11. .Under these circum stances; it was thought proper to raise their salaries, and to place thenvabcre temptation, and when that angmentation took place, they were. told that tlar conduel would be strialy watched for the future, and the penalties for Misconduct strictly enforced. With resped to their cOndud before the.atigmenta. tion took place, it was alniosr necessary that an amnesty should be granted to them for it, because otherwise they would be at the mercy of the Di tillers and others who mi gh t now.pioscute them for the bribes which had been formerly given, It was upon these grounds that he had inserted this clause in the Bill, Mr. HORNER said, this was the second statement of a dot rtne .which for the first time had tieeri broaphed in 'that 'House by the Hight tionnurtiblo. Gentleman. He was convinced that such a cl.m4e would be a disgrace to the statute books of tila country. Mr, FosTart explained. Mr. BANKES denied that it ectuld be fit to employ in a confidential discharge of office, per4ons who ought to be the objects of punishment for the of. fences they hid committed. We wanted not here an a& of amnesty, but of example, and if uorie others could be found to outline th ,, se unties, we should even usually come to tntrust thetn to per. sops, however ignorant they may be, tluoio those who had proved themselves unworthy of tions, however acquainted th!v, duties ;o be cl!trY7
